The 1960’s were a period of innovation, so we honored the spirit of the time by including a 9’5” radius (a modern upgrade) and a the Fender ½ blender which allows you to blend in the neck pickup in the 1st and 2nd position by way of the first tone knob. The slab rosewood fretboard is joined to a rift sawn maple neck to enhance the resonance of the neck. Finally, the Chicago Special pickups we’re created with Mike Lewis to ensure a balanced output across every pole piece. The Alnico 5 magnets are wrapped in 42 gauge enamel wire, and potted in shellac to recreate the round highs, and wide open frequency range of a vintage pickup.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Strat® pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibrated set - bridge to neck - for balanced output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach pickup as custom AlNiCo 5 magnet stagger for optimum output balance string-to-string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 gauge enamel wire for round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237100831\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R105230\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Deluxe Closet Classic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7lbs 11.4oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Alder\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Super Faded Fiesta Red\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold Hardware\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Strat\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Strat\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Strat 1\/2 Blender\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBack Plate \u0026amp;
